QUITE A w RECK.

Quite wreck occurred on the Frisco road
Sunday night near midnight, about eight
miles east of the city. A heavy freight
train was going down grade about thirty
miles an hour-something beyond maximum
speed-when one Of the front cars, loaded
with stone, broke down. The eight following
cars were thrown off the track and rolled
down into field, badly smashed. The track
was torn up for hundred yards, and some
other cars thrown off the track, but not
badly injured The engine was unframed.
A brakeman who happened to be on the
centre of the train was thrown several feet
into field and badly injured. His name
was j. S. Wright, and his recovery seems
doubtful.
Soon after the wreck wrecking train left
this city, and it was not until 10 o'clock yes
terday that the track was made passable.
The morning train, due at 6:15, did not
arrive until 1890 o'clock A passenger stated
that the eight SIN ashed cars were in the field
yet when the track had been repaired suffi-
GENTLY to allow the passenger to go west

FOUL PLAY.7
The Body OF a Man Naked and Unconscious
Found North of the City.

Yesterday about noon news reached the
city Of the finding of the body Of a man
along the track Of the Santa Fe north of the
city. At first the report was that the body
was that of man apparently killed by be-
ing thrown in some manner from q passing
train the night before.
Later, however, it was found that the APP
pearance of the man evidenced foul play and
tn at he had most likely been set upon by
some foot-pads, and having been
robbed of everything he had
even to his clothing was left naked beside
the track where he was found by some rail-
road employees. Here he had lain in the hot
sun for perhaps part of the night and almost
the whole Of the forenoon. He was uncon-
scious but upon being removed to Valley
Center and somewhat revived it was discov-
cred that his name was Ed Ryan of Villa
Grove, Col. The latest advices say he is
still in critical condition but that there are
hopes for his recovery.
